What a disappointment. I went here on a Friday to try out the fish sandwich. It's no longer on the menu. In fact I'm told by the bartender that The Coalmine in nearby Castle Shannon now has the original Bobby's fish sandwich recipe. The menu is very limited bar food. Burgers, dogs, wings, fries. I ordered a chilli cheese dog and buffalo wings. The dog was so boring - canned chili and fake cheese. The wings took forever 40+ min and seemed like they were boiled or baked rather than fried. The skin was soggy, not crispy like you'd expect. I can't recommend the food but the service was nice and the big TVs made for good game watching. read more

Only one table available. There's a drastic difference from what it once was. Ambiance? There is none. It looks drastically different than what it was before. It looks like they built this bar inside of a garage now. I got fish on a dish. That's what they used to call it. Now they just called a fish sandwich without the bun. It was good. I never would've thought the ambience play such a critical role in how I enjoy a meal. It's been around six years since I've eaten there. I see no reason for me to return. That place used to have a huge lunch business all the way up till 6:30 or so. I remember having to wait out in the parking lot for a spot to open up so I could park. Today I was the only car there. Very sad. read more

Bobby's Lounge - This is what "Bobby's" looks like now. It looks like it was built in a garage. - Lounges Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The old Bobby's Lounge reopened as just Bobby's but it's the same HUGE fish sandwiches, delicious fresh cut fries, cooked separately so the fries don't taste like fish... plus daily beer & food specials. read more

I travel to Pittsburgh 1-2 times a year and I always try to make a stop at Bobby's. There's nothing I can say about the fish that hasn't been said a thousand times before, it's amazing. The service is always decent, too. I've never had a complaint. This was the first time I've been back to Bobby's since the change of ownership and renovation. Man, what did they do? They had a well-preserved mid-century modern bar, with dark wood and subtle lighting, it was a beautiful classic American bar setting and they destroyed it. Replacing it with a personality-less setting featuring an oval bar, barren, ugly walls, and a few parlor games still advertising the bar they were previously in. It went from a warm, friendly and inviting atmosphere to relax in, to a cold, sterile prison of anonymity. Such a devastating loss for the community. I'll still go back for the food, but I don't think I could ever hang out there again. read more

Best fish sandwich and Cole slaw. they just remodeled, much better. Drink prices are reasonable too. read more

Small friendly local bar. Good price. Variety of food options. Juke box for your favorite tunes.

Not the same Bobby's under the new management...web site prices do not reflect the reality of the increased menu item prices...they charge a 3% fee for credit card transactions.... ordered a take out,, was shown the bill,,,,gave my card to pay. Normal . The barmaid came back with a handheld credit card machine so I could place my pin number,,, did so,,,, signed and took my receipt, my to go order and left.....when later I looked at my receipt there was a 30% tip added.......bad stuff people..... stay away. Gave a 2 star rating because the food was ok. read more

Bobby's is not closed. The fish sandwich is awesome and the service has always been good considering the bar tender is also waiting on tables. It's a bar! That has good bar food!! Enjoy! read more

One of the best places for fish sandwiches in Pittsburgh and the coleslaw is actually very good. Besides not getting tartar everything was perfect read more

I usually eat Bobby's fish sandwiches at their site (they are the best). This was my first takeout from there and I was a little skeptical. I was so so happy to find that the fish was still crunchy and delicious! I love the buns they serve too. A small venue but a must try fish sandwich. read more

Out of towner- Stopped here for the fish hype and it did deliver. Was also HUGE!Amazing old man dive bar ambiance. Smoking is permitted. Dateline is on the TV. The gentleman beside me is drinking, smoking, and reading a novel! They will brew you some good, strong, bar coffee if you like. Wednesday is wing night 7-10. read more

Been going to Bobby's and getting take out for years!!! Not anymore!!! Got wings Togo on wing night as we have in the past and was told that the wing price was different if you ordered them Togo... Not the past 5 times we have gotten them!!! When I mentioned this I was told I could talk to Kristen the cook if I would like.. No thanks!!! It's pouring down rain and I have no plans of sitting outside in November in the rain!!! They are lucky I didn't just refuse them!!! Total bull. read more

This rating is for the fish sandwich only. So I've heard the hype about how this little local bar has one of the best fish sandwiches in the area. I've passed it often and seen the sign outside boasting "voted best fish sandwich". Having the kids with me normally has prevented me from stopping as no minors are allowed. On this day I was riding solo and decided to grab a couple to take home. I was prepared to give a little leeway as to-go containers normally leave their contents a little soggy. However, to my surprise the large piece of perfectly cooked battered fish (I dislike breading on my fish) was still crispy. The large bun was wrapped separately maintaining its soft freshness. This is a fish sandwich that lives up to the hype. Bobby's will be my new go to place when I'm in the mood for a fish sandwich. Even my youngest who normally doesn't do fish enjoyed a piece. Grab one. You won't be disappointed. read more

Went for lunch today! Best fish platter I have had in Pittsburgh! Very crispy and fresh!

The vastness of route 51 seems never ending when all you want is a beer! You've been stuck in traffic for the last hour and all you see is gas stations and a Donino's pizza. In comes Bobby's! For a $2 16oz draft Yeungling, you fulfilled my needs! The bartender was SUPER friendly and you could tell that she definetely knew everyone's name there. One downfall, smokings allowed. But a $2 Yuengling can make you forgive a lot...and perhaps forget a lot too;) read more

I would like to give Bobby's 4 stars but a few hiccups brings our experience to a 3. First off the food was excellent. We went for fish as proclaimed to be the best in the area by one award or another. A small home town place with a long bar and booths on the opposite wall. The decor was old, tattered and torn. Although we were seated as soon as we came in our server was delayed in getting our drink order and bringing menus. This was not really her fault as she was the only server for both the bar and the tables, the place was full. I had the fish sandwich & Bev had the fish on a plate. Bev was also excited to order Haluski as a side. The fish was excellent in both orders. Delicious batter and cooked properly. My fries were cold but other than that the meal was great and price appropriately. Warning this a smoking permitted establishment so if that bothers you be forewarned. It usually does not bother us but on this occasion a patron came up to talk to the bartender / server with a smoke in his hand and paused by our table to converse with her for several minutes. So the food gets 5 stars and the service atmosphere get 2 stars. We will be going back. read more

Last Friday was the first time my family and I tried Bobbi's lounge for Lent. I decided to call the order in and then go and pick it up since it's not that far from my house. I actually attempted to call for over an hour and a half getting a busy signal before I decided to make the drive down to the lounge myself. When I arrived and went in the line was about 15 deep of people waiting to pick up their fish sandwiches. A lot of people were stating that they ordered two hours in advance and they were still waiting for their food. I ordered my food which we ordered for platters with macaroni and cheese and Halushki, unfortunately they ran out of macaroni and cheese and halushki by 6 o'clock. When I ordered the food they said it would be about an hour to an hour and a half wait. I asked them if it would be two hours because I could leave and go do some running and then come back and pick up the food. They said to give them an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes. I went back exactly at two hours and my food was ready. The fish sandwiches were phenomenal, even with the drive home and I'm not sure how long they were sitting before I actually picked them up they were not soggy or greasy. I was very pleasantly surprised and we may actually get them again although we tend to try somewhere different every Friday during lent. I forgot to take pictures of our food until after the fact. read more

Met some friends here before checking out California Taco Shop (CTS). We had a drink and given that this seemed to be our only option in that general area (at least fairly close to CTS) to get a drink then I think 3 stars is sufficient. You can smoke here so that's a huge negative but the place is unpretentious and really casual - I'm talking dive bar casual. The bartender was super friendly and the drinks were super cheap. $4 wine people! I'm not sure that I'll be back to Bobby's since it's not an area I frequent, however it definitely served it's purpose - a casual hang out spot for some girlfriends to grab a drink and chit chat before CTS. read more

The fish sandwich was massive. The service was horrible and there were less than 12 people in the whole place. The food came out and was barely warm. There are only like 4 tables so good luck getting a place to sit when service takes forever. read more

Fish sandwiches are to die for! Yum! Huge portions. Fresh fish with great batter. Definitely a small, local place. But there have been some updates of the restrooms, etc. Food matters more to me than ambience. Smoking is allowed. Just a heads up. I'll be posting pictures as soon as I get some! read more

Got to love Bobby's! For us smokers we can have a drink and a smoke without stepping outside!!! The ventilation is good too it doesn't smell like smoke for you nonsmokers. Never had a bad meal. The bartenders are all super friendly and have a sence of humor. You can't beat their prices either. read more

I don't care about ambiance or mood... the fish tasted like NOTHING. The portion was huge, and that made it worse actually. There's a sign out front that boasts that it's the best fish sandwich in Pitt for 200x, 200x, 201x, and 201x... maybe they don't have taste buds in the south hills. Don't bother, people. read more
